I read fast, so thats how I get away with so many novels a week. Anyways...I was saying that to say the the too best authors as far as Christian loves stories would be Lori Wick and Janette Oke. They both have great standards in their books and Lori Wick is VERY bold about the gospel in her books. I would recommend both of those authors to any young lady.Katie - Romans 12:1-2http://www.blogger.com/profile/02306767431596076542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1040609963003203385.post-88878014610276655132009-04-21T09:41:00.000-04:002009-04-21T09:41:00.000-04:00Aliene, I loved your post today! And to me you ma...Aliene, I loved your post today! And to me you made perfect sense! :) I have been a reader since I was a small child. And all three of our children are good readers. I think maybe because that&#39;s what they &quot;cut their teeth&quot; on! We did not have a TV when they were little. My hubby worked second shift so was not at home in the evenings. Most every night after I gave the kids their bath we would then sit on the couch and I would read aloud to them until bedtime. This started when they were just infants/toddlers and continued until they were able to read well on their own. I can remember many a night when the baby would fall asleep in my lap while I was reading and I would put him to bed and come back and finish the book. I read the whole Little House on the Prairie series to them at least twice. We also found a great series of Christian books for kids called the Sugar Creek Gang series. We read all the little Classic books. We read Dr. Seuss. Later when they were older they read the Hardy Boys and our daughter read Nancy Drew. And like you, I LOVE Grace Livingston Hill books. I have a large collection of them which my daughter read when she got to be older. Since we homeschooled our kids, reading was always a big part of our schooling. Usually there were many good books recommended for reading each year.<br><br>Now when our 3-year-old granddaughter comes to visit she goes to &quot;her&quot; bookshelf and brings me a book, then backs up to my knees waiting to be put in my lap while I read to her. When that book is done she slides down, says &quot;Read one more!&quot;, and goes and picks out the next book. We usually read &quot;one more&quot; until we have read 10 or more OR until my voice gives out! ha<br><br>Well....I have gotten off on one of my very favorite subjects and will be writing a comment as long as your post if I&#39;m not careful! ha <br><br>God bless!<br>MarilynMarilyn in Mississippihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16808156475777748077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1040609963003203385.post-24112173411187747372009-04-21T09:20:00.000-04:002009-04-21T09:20:00.000-04:00Great post Aliene! good books are hard to come by,...Great post Aliene! good books are hard to come by, but worth the search!Deborahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04798124104168438303noreply@blogger.com
